Monday, March 8, 2021 The New York state legislature passed Bill S2588A/A3354B, which would amend the New York Labor Law to grant employees paid leave time for the COVID-19 vaccination.  Below is a brief summary of what New York employers need to know about the legislation which, if signed by Governor Cuomo, would take effect immediately. Under the proposed bill, employers would be required to provide employees with “a sufficient period of time, not to exceed four hours” per vaccine dose, to be vaccinated for COVID-19.  This time must be paid at the employee’s regular rate of pay for the entire leave period.  The bill would also prohibit employers from discriminating or retaliating against employees who request or take a leave of absence to be vaccinated for COVID-19, or who otherwise exercise their rights under this law.
